Brand New - Bought a Bride lyrics

Trees will make a forest
Trees will make a boat
These are all the harder words
You have to know
If everyone's a structure where
Their own savior sit's
Then I'm a little red house
But no one's living in it

Cars are little blood cells, we are oxygen
City is the airway, suburbs appendages
She was feeling lonely, tired of the hive
Rented out a family

And he bought a bride bought a bride
Bought a bride bought a bride

Little cities' names have ruined all the maps
They tied her up and laid
Her on the train tracks

Where are all the seedlings
We grew for violins? Down in Jersey lumber
Still in prosthetic limbs
Should've been a soldier
I could've fought and died
There's no revolution

So I bought a bride bought a bride
Bought a bride bought a bride

Coming down the aisle while
The horns play "Taps"
They tied her up and laid
Her on the train tracks

If somehow I was new
And everything was unsaid
I'd go and buy a hammer, never sing again

Sleeping on a stairway, dreamt I had a boat
Sailed it out the harbor
Shot it full of holes
Folded up my prayer book
I couldn't see the lines
Drowning in a kelp bed, I bought a bride
